Join NEIU Philosophy on Thursday, September 17 in BBH 102 from 3:05 pm - 4:30 pm for the first colloquium of the semester!
Dr. Kathryn Petrozzo will present “Moving Beyond Irrationality: Mental Illness, Well-Being, and Ulysses Contracts”, followed by a Q&A session.
Irrationality talk is pervasive throughout clinical diagnostic criteria, legal standards of competency, and public treatment of individuals with mental illnesses. The aim of this talk is to 1) discuss the stigmatizing conception that irrationality is a constituent of mental illness and 2) provide a pragmatic account of better practices.
